"The vapor 9 tour is more responsive on court shoe than its predecessors.They have a comfortable out of box feel without compromising performance. The soles slip just slightly the first few wears, but once worn a few times you get a much better grip. Great shoe, recommend any player looking for a performance tennis shoe."

"I play high school tennis, practicing or playing a match every day of the week, and often one day of the weekend. I bought my shoes at the start of the season in early March, it is now May and they I have completely worn through the bottom of the shoe where i slide and will be testing the Nike Zoom Vapor 9.5's next. I love the comfort but there needs to at least be a warranty, but none the less I will keep buying some version of this awesome shoe."

Sorry to hear these wore out on you, Zach. We'd hate to have you miss any time on the court or not feel comfortable in the kicks you're rocking, so we've got a few options that you can try to get back on track. Here goes:

1. Give the original retailer a shout to see if they can help with a return/exchange.2. If you don't have any luck there or if you purchased them online, check out Nikeclaims.com to view the process of setting up a claim if you believe there's a flaw in your product.

You can also give us a call at 1-800-806-6453 (4am-11pm PT, daily). Sound good?

"I have purchased 20 pairs of vapor 9 tours from various retailers over the last year, and they last approximately 1-11/2 months if worn 3-4 times a week, with 2-3 hr hitting sessions.Its hard for me to recommend this shoe, as it blows out so quickly, ranging from holes in the bottoms, to complete tread wear; although, It seams the shoe's tread wear has gotten better as the different color ways come out, but that might just be my perception as I now have a cycle of a three pair rotation that seems to be lasting a little bit longer. Nonetheless, these shoes are remarkably light and comfortable, and seem to be the only shoe that don't cause excessive foot discomfort. Unless you have ailing foot issues, and this shoe alleviates them, I would recommend something more durable or at least with a 6 month performance guarantee.I have also purchased 4 pairs of the 9.5 vapor tour, and the durability hasn't changed.

Thanks for leaving a review, Kevin. Looks like you're putting in some hard work on the courts. It's only right that we get you a shoe that can keep up. Since it sounds like you've run through these rather quickly, we recommend checking out Nikeclaims.com to view the process on how to set up a claim. You can also give us a shout directly at 1-800-806-6453 (4am-11pm PT, daily) if you'd rather talk over the phone. That work?

"I always stuck to Nike and love their product. While I will agree it is overpriced, you pay for the quality. The shoes are very comfortable, fit well, and designed stylish. The only downside I have is that the color is not what I expected. I was of the opinion they were straight red and black, but Nike colors don't agree with the pictures. I look like a clown on the court but doesn't affect my play. Again, excellent product, great shoe, lasts long on court."

"The Nike Zoom Vapor 9 Tour is the very first pair of tennis shoes I have ever worn in my entire life. I have been playing tennis (amateur, of course ...personally defined as playing rallies with my mom and only doing services to gauge whether the ball is in or not from my mom's visual perspective lol ) for a couple of years now, and I've been jumping from one pair of sneakers to another, mainly because I'm not a pro, so I don't really need one and because I can't afford to buy quality- and/or name-brand shoes.

It's only recently that I've mustered enough guts and money (mainly money) that I try a "real" pair of tennis shoes. And after browsing Nike's collection, and after a big nudge of bias as a Federer fan, I landed a pair of the Zoom Vapor 9 (see picture below). Just a foreword: I'm not a pro, and this "review" is nowhere near as professional or in-depth as any other out there, so bear with me if my insight is a little off.

Anyway, one of the things that got me interested with this is the colorway...I mean, the black and white is such a pro-looking shoes, and all of a sudden, a slap of pink appears on it. Mind you that this is for the men's version. I have nothing against it; in fact, I LUV (with a "U", yes) the boldness of Nike to add the color pink on it. It's both professional and lovely at the same time...couldn't care less what people say about it or me, for the matter. The shoes fit true-to-size, but I must warn you that I have regular feet, so in case your feet are wide, you might want to get a half-size or even a full-size larger than what you normally wear (also consider the type of socks to wear with this shoe too). The shoes provide a stable cushion base that is not springy or pillowy when running or sprinting on the court, i.e. it is pretty responsive with your feet's every movement. It provides a decent heel lockdown...I haven't experienced any heel slippage whatsoever, whether it be on thick socks or thin socks. Traction is on point, and with XDR outsole, I don't feel nervous about running around the court. The mesh upper and the overall material looks pretty durable, which may seem like it won't give when you first try the shoes on. Although after a few hours of usage, the shoes mold to your feet without having those hotspots or painful areas when wearing them. I don't have any complaints about it so far because, well, it delivers as expected: work like a tennis shoe is supposed to. Also, knowing that Federer wears this is enough to make me feel like a pro as well when playing [amateur] tennis (okay, that may be just being hooked on subliminal advertisement and personal bias, but it works like heck, so yeah ^_^)

Well, that's my insight on the Zoom Vapor 9. I was actually prepared to return it if my feet didn't like; turns out that my feet didn't just liked it but loved it too."

"I wear the shoes on wood courts for racquetball. This is my second pair. Love these shoes. After going from the courtballistec. Lighter, comfortable and they hold to the wood floor very well. My first pair lasted about 7 months, 4 days per week.

If Nike wants them to be perfect, these shoes should have the sock type inside like the courtballistec, instead of a tongue. Also, overlay on the toe needs to be extended. It causes the mesh to wear a hole in it."

"That is what Tennis Warehouse said in their recent review of this shoe, and I must agree. I have tried everything on the market the last 30 years and this shoe has to be my favorite. Great comfort, ventilation, mobility, stability, and fit! SIX STARS if I had an extra one to give! Fantastic job Nike!"
